0061. [Eurocode] Design of Singly Reinforced Rectangular Section

This digital product is an interactive engineering report template created for civil engineers, designers, and architectural firms. It's also handy for researchers, teachers, and students who are into designing reinforced concrete structures according to European standards.

Automated Checks and Analysis

The calculations are based on the following input data:

• Beam length (simply supported reinforced concrete beam).
• Dead and live loads.
• Cross-section width.
• Concrete strength class.

This input data can be easily replaced with the required values (including units of measurement).

The calculation is based on a simple simply supported beam model. However, you can switch to a different analysis model by changing the bending moment formula.

Minimum effective depth is determined in the form traditional for Eurocode EN 1992.

The final section of the report contains the beam cross-section height. The preliminary dimensions are automatically rounded up to 10 mm.

Features & Document Logic

The calculation is based on the example given in “Reinforced concrete design to Eurocodes. Design theory and examples, 4th ed., P. Bhatt, T. J. MacGinley, B. S. Choo, 2014”. The differences from the base document are in automation:

• All formulas are calculated automatically.
• Any units of measurement are acceptable (Imperial or Metric).
• Built-in Table 3.1 “Strength and deformation characteristics for concrete”.

Concrete strength characteristics are passed to the calculation via a user-friendly Selector object, which refers to EN 1992-1-1. All you need to do is select the required strength class, and the program will automatically pull the necessary characteristics into the calculation.

Important: You can adapt the document to your specific needs — edit formulas, add schemes, or change units of measurement. TechEditor automatically handles unit conversion and dimension control, correctly calculating expressions with mixed units.
